ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
This product should be connected to a power supply that
is 120 volts, AC only (normal household current), 60 Hz.
Do not operate this product on direct current (DC) through
the power cord. A substantial voltage drop will cause a loss
of power and the motor will overheat. If the product does
not operate when plugged into an outlet, double-check the
power supply.
GFCI
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) protection should
be provided on the circuit(s) or outlet(s) to be used for the
auger. Outlets are available having built-in GFCI protection
and may be used for this measure of safety.
EXTENSION CORDS
Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding
plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the tool's plug.
When using a power tool at a considerable distance from
the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough
to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized
extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in
a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat. Use the
chart provided below to determine the minimum wire size
required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords
listed by Underwriter's Laboratories (UL) should be used.
Use an extension cord that is designed for outside use. This
type of cord is designated with "WA" or "W" on the cord's
jacket.
Before using any extension cord, inspect it for loose or
exposed wires and cut or worn insulation.

WARNING:
Keep the extension cord clear of the working area.
Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber,
tools, or other obstructions while you are working with
this product. Failure to do so can result in serious
personal injury.
WARNING:
Check extension cords before each use. If damaged
replace immediately. Never use a product with a damaged
cord since touching the damaged area could cause
electrical shock resulting in serious injury.
To avoid the possibility of the product plug or outlet getting
wet, the operator should arrange a "drip loop" in the cord
connecting the product to the outlet. The "drip loop" is that
part of the cord below the level of the outlet, or the connector
if an extension cord is used, to prevent water traveling along
the cord and coming in contact with the outlet.
